  • A painted woman curled into the fetal position. Photo based mix media image.

  • A very old analouge negative taken on Boxing Day some twenty odd years ago. This girl was living with my younger sister in Darlinghurst in Sydney at the time and yes there were drugs involved. Neither of them survived the experience. All I have left is some very old photo’s and my memories. To death us do drug. Was that a challenge, a motto or a promise. I could never work it out.

  • Gia Carangi was a shooting star...quite literally! This photo was from my very first photo shoot with Gia, for Vogue, July 1978 (the shoot date). The image is somewhat soft and grainy (due to it’s being a large blowup of a small image and because I worked to emphasize the grain Gia quickly rose to super star status as a model. But, just a few years later she became addicted to drugs and her life began a downward spiral. I worked with Gia only in 1978 and 1979. She was always lovely…full of life. full of fun and unpredictably spontaneous. Gia was one of, perhaps, two or three of the most inventive models I worked with in some fifty years of photograhing women. By inventive I mean that she would adapt to a situation and cast herself in a role that fit the shoot. If you look at photos of Gia by different fashion photographers you can see how she would take on a persona to fit the situation. Gia was a delight to work with. She died at the age of 26 from complications caused by AIDS. The writer, Stephen Fried, wrote a book about Gia, Thing of Beauty—The Tragedy of Supermodel Gia. To this day there is a huge following of Gia fans. This has been one of my most popular images of Gia.

  • Self-portrait Heroin, Velvet Underground - “I don’t know just where I’m going / But I’m gonna try for the kingdom, if I can / ‘Cause it makes me feel like I’m a man / When I put a spike into my vein / And I’ll tell ya, things aren’t quite the same / When I’m rushing on my run / And I feel just like Jesus’ son / And I guess that I just don’t know / And I guess that I just don’t know I have made the big decision / I’m gonna try to nullify my life / ‘Cause when the blood begins to flow / When it shoots up the dropper’s neck / When I’m closing in on death / And you can’t help me, not you guys / And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk / You can all go take a walk / And I guess that I just don’t know / And I guess that I just don’t know I wish that I was born a thousand years ago / I wish that I’d sail the darkened seas / On a great big clipper ship / Going from this land here to that / In a sailor’s suit and cap / Away from the big city / Where a man can not be free / Of all of the evils of this town / And of himself, and those around / Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know / Oh, and I guess that I just don’t know Heroin, be the death of me / Heroin, it’s my wife and it’s my life / Because a mainer to my vein / Leads to a center in my head / And then I’m better off than dead / Because when the smack begins to flow / I really don’t care anymore / About all the tensions in this town / And all the politicians makin’ busy sounds / And everybody puttin’ everybody else down / And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds ‘Cause when the smack begins to flow / Then I really don’t care anymore / Ah, when the heroin is in my blood / And that blood is in my head / Then thank God that I’m as good as dead / Then thank your God that I’m not aware / And thank God that I just don’t care / And I guess I just don’t know / And I guess I just don’t know”
